There is a difference between challenges that increase enjoyment and challenges that are simply frustrating.
And Starcraft is also hated very much for its limitations by many people.

Yeah it just seems like a simple brawl in comparison.
I wish it would be more like a futuristic Wargame with base/resources.

Good one REDDQ. Here is also the first CnC: http://www.theaveragegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/CommandAndConquer.jpg And CnC Generals: http://www.pcdome.hu/gallery/1345/image38g.jpg Also I would like to add, that those games were not legendary because of limited Zoom. Instead Supreme Commande...

I am with Random there, this is not some e-sport Starcraft-Clone, where things should be difficult for the sake of being difficult.

Since its totally unlikely for a mass revision of textures, could a proper color-filter to help tone things down help perhaps?

Good idea.
A video option to tone down things would definitely help.

Hate to say it, but:

To me this game feels too "Comic" like with no realistic feeling at all (this is not about the futuristic setting itself, it is about the presentation).

If the final game won't feel more realistic than that, I'll be through with it after a week I guess.

Frustrating limits to my view constantly destroy the illusion for me, simple as that.

When exactly will this test end? (mail just says Fri-Sun)
Will there be further testing?

Upgrade-Button "Base Projection" (needed to build FOB) disappears when building Barracks, so no possibility to get FOB.

Currently we have normal Zoom and "Satellite View", which represents a Drone and is very limited.

Why not make that Drone-View available without research and let us research a real "Satellite View" that has a Strategic Zoom ?
